A new Forum member building his oven asked a question on his thread
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f6/g...sas-13415.html
about his ovens base or slab. His was existing so he stacked his concrete blocks on it and is ready to fill his cells (probably every other cell with concrete and rebar) but he asked this question:
Is it REALLY necessary to have rebar sticking out of the slab (from the bottom) into the cells?
I looked at lots of forum pictures and I see many that don't have any. I assume it's always preferable in a new pour to poke in (usually 4, 1 in each corner) a length of rebar, like I did. But, if you didn't I assume it's ok, especially if you fill in half the cores (the cement will somewhat bond to the slab) and the weight of our ovens will never allow it to move.
I think it's fine; what do you think?
